Walt Whitman

A man can be a hero in any profession
Walt Whitman
Image
Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn'd love But now I think there is no unreturn'd love—the pay is certain, one way or another (I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return'd Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)
Walt Whitman
Image
Strong and content I travel the open road.
Walt Whitman
